June 2017 of eternal inheritance. (Hebrew 9:15) Bishop H. G. Long,Bishop /Pastor Greetings from Faith Walk Ministries Bishop Long s message was entitled: The Secret of the Lord The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. (Psalms 25:14) I believe God carefully chose the word secret to use in this passage: its Hebrew root means to be alert, to be on the look out to watch, to be confident. The concept expressed here is powerful: God has a secret He will share only with believers who are willing to pursue it with passion. In essence, God does share this secret with everybody. This is why the Bible calls it a secret, but it is be known to all who want to know it. The secret can be know through what is called God s New Covenant, that He made with mankind through ad by His Son, Jesus Christ. And for this cause, he is the mediator of the new testament that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 10:16-17) This secret is that your Savior wants you to rejoice and be glad, because your past, present and future sins have been take away.

About 60% of our body is made up of water and it is one of the most important things we can give our physical body. Every system in your body needs water to live and function properly. Water Flushes toxins out of the organs Carries nutrients to every cell Affect how we feel(even mild dehydration can make you tired) Affects every body system As a rule of thumb, men and women should drink 8-8oz glasses of water daily. This is a simple and average suggestion. Everyone s body requirement is different. If you are very active, sweat a lots, are out in the heat, or sick; you should drink more water. The before mentioned things cause your body to use more water, and you would want to replace what is lost. If perhaps you fall in to the category of s it, and increase the goa who don t drink enough water daily, it s not too late to start. Set a small goal, work towards it, and increase the goal after you ve met it. You can do it! Your body is counting on You! Betty M. Wilson, FNP-BC
